EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Hibagon - "Orogenesis" / "Lamantino"


Like polyrhythms? Like instrumental math metal? Italy's Hibagon are here, and they've brought the weird. Today we have the pleasure of premiering not one but TWO songs from their upcoming album, "Polyposmic," which is to be released May 12th. The first song, "Orogenesis," is a palindromic 3 minute heavy epic with an almost Ravel like attention given to subtle variation in the main riff. The 2nd track, "Lamantino," is based around a Latin groove that starts spooky and gradually crescendos into a chaotic variation of the main motif.

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: Slagduster - "Profane Puppet"


Canada's Slagduster are back with their first new material in over 6 years, and they are groovier than ever. Heaviness and stop on a dime time changes a la Meshuggah, SikTh, and Car Bomb are frequently employed by the band, with the vocals maintaining a Mike DiSalvo-like lower mid-range punch. Their new album, "Deadweight," is slated for a May 5th release, and today we have the privilege of premiering a new song from the album, "Profane Puppet," which is 4 and a half minutes of obnoxiously bouncy riffage garnished with plenty of artificial harmonics, and that's...well, that's just great.
